Hmmm…a quick google search turns up things like:
and although he does say he would vote for Clinton over the Republican candidate (who wasn’t yet known to be Trump), he also says:
““I agree with him in a lot of things, not in other things,” he said. “I frankly think that in our system of mainly bought elections he doesn’t have much of a chance, but if he were elected I think he would — of the current candidates — I think he’d be the one who would have, from my point of view, the best policies.”
Chomsky has signaled support for Sanders throughout the past year, speculating before Sanders launched his campaign that he could endorse him. Chomsky has also contributed to Sanders’ campaigns in the past.”
So I’m going to have to say it’s unfair to lump Chomsky in with those other “defenders of empire and shameless shills of the power structure”.
